Science Streets is a science communication project that brings science into everyday life by turning Leipzig’s public spaces into places of learning.
For four weeks in August 2026, science comics will be shown on advertising spaces (advertising pillars, city light posters, info screens, on public transport, etc.).
This year’s theme is neuroscience. Ten scientists and
brain – the scientists will provide the content and the illustrators will implement it artistically. The project ends with a public vernissage,
, which presents the comics, short scientific lectures and open discussions – making brain research visible, appealing and accessible.
